The Tigers needed a win today, and you had to think that this would be the game to do it. After the momentum from yesterday's win, the Tigers had Justin Verlander going on the mound against rookie pitcher Henry Owens. However, the defense for the Tigers made some very questionable plays during the first few innings, eventually leading to a 7-2 loss.
In the second inning, Verlander got the first two outs relatively easily, but then things started to go the wrong way. The next three batters all reached on infield singles and an error by Ian Kinsler, loading the bases.
